Good win. Sounds like Ingram played fantastic. I heard on the radio that Jarry is very close to being ready to go. What do we do with our goalie situation then?
Ingram has been far better than Pickard, but he can be sent down without having to clear waivers. I think I'd still take the risk and send Pickard down though. If he gets claimed then he gets claimed. I like a Jarry - Ingram goalie tandem.

Jason Gregor was talking about this too and trying to suggest that the team should demote Ingram just in case they lose Pickard. Pickard looks done though. His last two starts, he's allowed 3 first period goals. He's been terrible almost the entire season. Having a couple good games in December doesn't redeem him for me, and if we have two better options, then we should keep the better options up. If we lose him to waivers, that's probably a good thing as it means Connor Ungar still has a place to play in the AHL and bonus, the team saves a little money (sadly not cap space).
It should be interesting to see what they do, because it's an indication of how serious the Oilers are about being a winning team.

Ingram actually has NHL level talent when he is on. That would be pure comedy if after he put up 6/7 >0.900 games we demoted him for Pickard.

It doesn't exactly send the message that performance matters...
